Request

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I am requesting data regarding Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) and residential dwelling stock within your council's administrative area. Please provide the following information, correct as of the date you process this request. I would be grateful if you could state the date for which the data is provided in your response. The total number of HMOs within the council's boundary. The total number of residential dwellings within the council's boundary. A list of all Lower Layer Super Output Areas (LSOAs) within the council's boundary, with a corresponding count of the number of HMOs located within each LSOA. A list of all LSOAs within the council's boundary, with a corresponding count of the total number of residential dwellings within each LSOA. I request that this information be provided in a machine-readable format, such as a Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) or comma-separated values (.csv) file, to allow for analysis. This request for information on HMOs is made in the context of the council's statutory duty to maintain a public register under Section 232 of the Housing Act 2004.
